Fair point. What I was suggesting is that if "everyone" was prevented from competition, there would be massive pressure to end war/ genocide/ apartheid etc. And as a nice side effect, it removes the propaganda effect of the spectacle until that happens.
But yeah, I know money rules and that people can never fully agree on anything so it would never happen. @lerxst @EugeneMcParland

Hah yeh lol, well at least one alt/ bot account got snarky 🤭 Anyway, Slava Ukraini fwiw @evrial @EugeneMcParland
Not sure who you're addressing. If it's me, and it is a genuine question, then I'd have to say no actually, I don't take myself too seriously and I love learning. If it's not me you are asking, then who - and who is it that you think is lecturing whom about what?
@ReggieHere @EugeneMcParland Sadly, no.
And since "No war, because sports" hasn't worked (ostensibly one of the original purposes of the Olympics was to promote peace and unity among Greek city states)
- maybe it's time to give "No sports, because war" a chance.
@evrial @EugeneMcParland It's called an opinion, and you're welcome not to share it.
@EugeneMcParland
All Olympics and World Cup competition should be suspended as long as wars are fought anywhere. I suspect world peace would break out pretty quickly.
